Hull star Radford was part of the Federation Shield-winning England team that overcame a very physical Tonga side.

He said: "Stuart had a bit of sparring recently with Willie Mason, and half the Tongan travelling party gave me a bit of a warm-up, so it should be a decent fight.

"We are going to enjoy it and hopefully raise plenty of money for a great friend."

The event for ex-Hull and St Helens favourite Prescott will also feature an undercard featuring professional boxing, a set from comedian Mike Lodge, speeches from rugby league legends and an auction including sporting memorabilia.
